Song Details

 

Fool’s Paradise

Written by Devin Matthews and Luc Campanella, Fool’s Paradise gives the album a kick from the get go. The band hasn’t touched the track since the original recording, and wouldn’t want to change a thing about it. Fool’s Paradise starts the album off with a upbeat happy song which is appropriate for the opening song of the album “Splash!”


Metallic Blue

Written by Devin Matthews and Luc Campanella, Metallic Blue starts off with a mellow groove and gradually builds to the catchy chorus. The song instantly became one of the bands' favorites and was played live for the first time just a few days after being written.


Fourever

Written by Evan Denisiu, Fourever is an all time favorite with an overall powerful statement to make. Although lengthy, every second is worth it and creates a song that you would not want to miss.


We Could Fly

Written by Devin Matthews, We Could Fly is a late night groove with a different sound from a lot of the rest of the album due to the use of different keyboard/synth sounds and textures bringing a nice laid back feeling to the album.


Last Night

Written by Evan Denisiu, Last Night is one of the bands oldest songs dating back to the original version on Evans computer which is very different from that on the album. After months and months of work, Last Night ended up a dream pop song very fitting to the album.


Meet Me at the Corner

Written by Devin Matthews, Evan Denisiu, and Luc Campanella, Meet Me at the Corner is about a girl who moves to England leaving an important relationship behind. The song has a prominent bass line played by Evan Denisiu and a very deep guitar solo played by Luc Campanella to end it.


Miss Summer Moonlight

Written by Devin Matthews and Luc Campanella, Miss Summer Moonlight was one of the first songs to be recorded in the summer of 2017. When Devin and Luc recorded it Evan was in New York, so they surprised him with a complete song which hasn’t been touched since the original recording except for the vocals which Evan and Devin did together when Evan got back.

Closed My Eyes

Written by Devin Matthews and Evan Denisiu, Closed My Eyes is a slower song with a sad, deep back story contrasting the rest of the dreamy pop album. Originally recorded with one low vocal track, it is the first song recorded by the band with the vocal concept of Devin singing low and Evan singing high together which led to many songs with the same technique.


Stay Young

Written by Devin Matthews and Luc Campanella, Stay Young is a song about enjoying life while you have it. As a group of young musicians, Mt. Pool is also a group of best friends who love to mess around, maybe a little too much, and are very proud of that. Everyone who knows the band knows that the four young men always are having fun sometimes at the cost of a little trouble, but as said in the song, “Trouble lasts for the moment, memories last for life”. The song is up in tempo and is a great song to lead into the last tune, “Good Morning”.


Good Morning

Written by Devin Matthews, Luc Campanella, and Evan Denisiu, Good Morning closes the album with a plot twist: The whole album was a dream, now the sun is up, and so are you, GOOD MORNING! Now go enjoy your day :)

 

Fool’s Paradise

It’s you and I, all alone

Your kiss was nothing but imagination

I’m in a fantasy world of awe

In my sleeping hallucination


Sounds mix with colors cause it’s in my mind

Confusion fills the clouds, up in the sky

We can dream of anything whenever we like

But when we wake what will we find


We’re in a fool’s paradise

A fool’s paradise

We’re in a fool’s paradise

In a fool’s paradise


I woke up this morning and I ran out the door

I lied down on the concrete floor

To have a dream that I’ve had before

To see what my mind, had in store

I open my eyes and I look down the street

I realize I’m in reality

That’s not the place that I wanna be

So I close my eyes and fall back asleep


Sounds mix with colors cause it’s in my mind

Confusion fills the clouds, up in the sky

We can dream of anything whenever we like

But when we wake what will we find


We’re in a fool’s paradise

A fool’s paradise

We’re in a fool’s paradise

In a fool’s paradise

Metallic Blue

People can fall in love in a moment

If the stars align just right

You can swim through a thousand oceans

It can happen in a night

The way your eyes sparkled over the city

Oh, it made me fly

And I fell in love in the very moment

Cause the stars aligned


And I really don’t wanna go

I wanna stay for our light show

I want you to know

That I love you


Metallic Blue, Blue

Metallic Blue, Blue


It might not be the same for everybody

It sure is new to me

Holding you tight, in my arms

Is where I wanna be

It’s a timeless feeling that will last forever

The world feels like it’s ours

When your laying down, under the clouds

And looking at the stars


And I really don’t wanna go

I wanna stay for our light show

I want you to know

That I love you


Metallic Blue, Blue

Metallic Blue, Blue

Fourever

What would you say if today

Everything changed

What would you say

If the flowers were arranged

In red, green and gray


So just follow me, can’t you see

The lines in-between, what we believe


Somewhere along the lines, our paths crossed for the last time

(Why don’t we pretend it’s not the end)

Somewhere out in time, will you still say

Fourever, Fourever


What would you say if we stayed

nothing changed, forever the same

our love remains, untainted with paint stains

And you’ve been on and off my mind your one of a kind

Will you take my hand and be there when we land

When we run away cause we’re here to stay

Fourever, Fourever


So just follow me, can’t you see

The lines in-between, what we believe


Somewhere along the lines, our paths crossed for the last time

(Why don’t we pretend it’s not the end)

Somewhere out in time, will you still say

Fourever, Fourever


I wanna be your best friend, not something less than

I wanna curve the lines, I wanna break the laws

Learn something new, I wanna be with you

Fourever, Fourever


Somewhere along the lines, our paths crossed for the last time

(Why don’t we pretend it’s not the end)

Somewhere out in time, will you still say

Fourever, Fourever

We Could Fly

The moon’s reflection is in your eyes, I used to watch it in the sky

I believe that we could fly, I believe in you and I, you and I, you and I, you and I

Everything reminds me of you

The bright sky when it’s shining blue

Cloudy out and the sky is grey

Dream of you every single day

And when it’s dark and late at night

Golden last bits of light

You're always on my mind

I know that you are mine


I won’t let you go, love, I won’t let you go

There’s one thing I know, I will hold you close

In the night we could fly, wherever we like nothing's in our way

I can see it in your eyes, that you are not afraid

We can make it to the moon or just stay in my room

And talk, and talk, and talk the night away


My heart skips a beat when I see you, I know you feel the same way too

I believe that we will fly, I believe in you and I


I won’t let you go, love, I won’t let you go

There’s one thing I know, I will hold you close

In the night we could fly, wherever we like, nothing's in our way

I can see it in your eyes, that you are not afraid

We can make it to the moon, or just stay in my room

And talk, and talk, and talk the night away


So you tell me you wanna fly, so come with me and give it a try

No need for wings to reach the sky, just look up and close your eyes

Here we go, up and away, take off to our favorite place

It’s ours forever and all of time, we’ll never leave


I won’t let you go, love, I won’t let you go

There’s one thing I know, I will hold you close

In the night we could fly, wherever we like nothings in our way

I can see it in your eyes, that you are not afraid

We can make it to the moon or just stay in my room

And talk, and talk, and talk the night away

Last Night

You make me smile, can I stay for a while

I’ll try my hardest not to speak as I'm listening to you

On the roof and I’m wondering just what to do

Yet I know it’s not possible to make a wrong move

Bob your head as we listen to your groove

And review, I’m smiling, because of you and what we did


Last night, I can’t describe it

Inscriptable and exciting

Last night was what we needed

Hope you’re satisfied without me leaving

Cause I know I don’t want to, scoot over and give me some room

And we’ll talk, and then we’ll walk, wherever we want to


I had a restless night

Thinking how I don’t wanna fight

The feelings that I have for you and what we ignited

You look at me yet I’m shutting my eyelids


Last night, I can’t describe it

Inscriptable and exciting

Last night was what we needed

Hope you’re satisfied without me leaving

Cause I know I don’t want to, scoot over and give me some room

And we’ll talk, and then we’ll walk, wherever we want to

To, wherever we want to, this one’s for you

And whatever you wanna do with it

Take it was your own, I feel at home, when I’m with you


Last night, I can’t describe it

Inscriptable and exciting

Last night was what we needed

Hope you’re satisfied without me leaving

Cause I know I don’t want to, scoot over and give me some room

And we’ll talk, and then we’ll walk, wherever we want to

Meet Me at the Corner

Cute as hell and 16

Now your having breakfast with the Queen

Things changed since you’ve gone away

Sitting in Ruby's Cafe

Waiting for the day

That you come running back to me


So go ahead and run

You're all I wanna see

So just meet me at the corner, under the city lights

Vivid visions, and pretty sights

Just meet me at the corner

Where all our thoughts and dreams are just waiting, fading


Sweet and fine but you're not with me

Standing on the corner where we used to meet

Walking lonely on our old street

Visions of you past Ruby's

Without you the place isn’t the same

I can’t sit at the table with our fork-carved names

I know you’ll run back to me someday


So go ahead and run

You're all I wanna see

So just meet me at the corner, under the city lights

Vivid visions, and pretty sights

Just meet me at the corner

Where all our thoughts and dreams are just waiting, fading

Miss Summer Moonlight

The more and more I’m with you, the more and more I fall

The more and more I see you, the more and more I stall

Stall due to fear, a simple defense

Not to let you hear and cause any offense

But the more and more I’m with you, the more and more I know

That the more and more I’m with you, the more my love will grow


Miss Summer Moonlight

Won’t you come with me

Let things happen

Going slowly

Come with me, see what there is to see

Let me show you, what we could be

In your cool heat of summer night

Everything is going right

Miss Summer Moonlight, Summer Moon

Please come with me, please come with me


And I don’t care what the people think, or what they have to say

Cause the more and more we sink, the more and more I pray

Pray that I’ll see you, and pray that you’ll be mine

The little things that we do could last for all of time


Restriction lays ahead so I can’t admit my feelings

Leaving me to dead, thoughts that are concealing

And although we just met, I feel our hearts connect

Do you feel it too? That’s the answer I wish I knew

That’s the question that I wanna ask you


Miss Summer Moonlight

Won’t you come with me

Let things happen

Going slowly

Come with me, see what there is to see

Let me show you, what we could be

In your cool heat of summer night

Everything is going right

Miss Summer Moonlight, Summer Moon

Please come with me, please come with me

Closed My Eyes

Lie next to me and close your eyes

It’s so crazy the way time flies

It seems like only yesterday

That I let you slip away

And as you watch me change

I let you walk away

So as I’m lying next to you

I wonder how I never knew


I closed my eyes and now your gone

I let you go and I was wrong

I closed my eyes as it went on

But now it’s done and I’ll be strong

I closed my eyes but watched you sway

I let you go, in my dreams you’ll stay

I closed my eyes and you ran away

I won’t see you, in the day


The blue day goes as black night creeps

I get to see you in my sleep

I brush my teeth and rush to bed

Can’t wait for you to be in my head

I lie down as you come back

Happens suddenly like a heart attack

Then I’m happy as can be

And you're lying down right next to me


I closed my eyes and now your gone

I let you go and I was wrong

I closed my eyes as it went on

But now it’s done and I’ll be strong

I closed my eyes but watched you sway

I let you go, in my dreams you’ll stay

I closed my eyes and you ran away

I won’t see you, in the day

I closed my eyes, I closed my eyes, I closed my eyes, I closed my

I closed my eyes, I closed my eyes, I closed my eyes, I closed my

I closed my eyes, I closed my eyes, I closed my eyes, I closed my

I closed my eyes, I closed my eyes, I closed my eyes, I closed my eyes

Stay Young

It is what it is

We know what we did

It’s just that time of our lives

So let’s do it tonight

You can do it all day

You can sit back and wait

Rules were built to be bent

So let’s go hop that fence


Step into what you don’t know

Give it a try

Stay young so you don’t grow

Look into my eyes

Stay young, stay young

Yesterday’s gone tomorrow to come

So stay young


When it’s late what do you do

Go out or stay in your room

Cause I know if I was you

I would try something new

Trouble lasts for the moment

Memories last for life

Being young is a prize

You’ll feel so alive


Step into what you don’t know

Give it a try

Stay young so you don’t grow

Look into my eyes

Stay young, stay young

Yesterday’s gone tomorrow to come

So stay young

Good Morning

It’s a beautiful day in the greater Los Angeles area

Hi I’m Devin, I’m Dexter, I’m Luc, and I’m Evan


Good morning to you, sun is smiling sky is blue

There’s a bird outside and I’m in a good mood

As I get up out of bed, have a good song in my head

With a happy melody but I don’t know the tune

So as the day goes on with a smile

I walk out the door and go for miles

And I’m happy, and you should be too


I look to the sky and what do I see?

The clouds are laughing right at me

And I open my teeth and I give them a grin

Cause I’m okay


As I continue with my day

And the nightmares fade away

I can’t stop, no I can’t stop smiling


I have no worries in the world

Don’t do my hair, let it curl

As I walk down the street there’s new people to meet

I have nothing to do and there’s no place to be


I look to the sky and what do I see?

The clouds are laughing right at me

And I open my teeth and I give them a grin

Cause I’m okay


As I continue with my day

And the nightmares fade away

I can’t stop, no I can’t stop Smiling
